The Beer Institute releases domestic tax paid estimate in barrels

The Beer Institute represents the whole of the $223 billion American beer industry (an industry that includes more than 2,500 breweries and 1.8 million jobs). The Beer Institute’s members include everyone from America’s largest brewers to some of the country’s smallest craft brands. The organization is a great source of statistics, and in late February, the Beer Institute published an unofficial estimate of domestic tax paid by beer brewers.

The January 2013 domestic tax paid estimate is 13,500,000 barrels (bbls). January 2012 removals were 13,340,000 (revised) for an increase of +1.2 percent.
